COMMENTS: Oops, it's Jonathan Sanchez, not Sandy Koufax, that Derek Lowe will be facing in today's Giants-Dodgers series opener. But you can understand how I made that mistake, as throughout his career Sanchez has basically been Koufax's statistical dopplegänger:

Of course, in Koufax's case we're talking about major league career, whereas with Sanchez we're referring to his college career (at Ohio Dominican University - Go Panthers!). And thankfully, like most of us, Sanchez wasn't quite the same person in college that he is today in his professional career.

In anycase, the Dodgers go into this holiday game with an undefeated month and a 3-game winning streak on the line. Hopefully at the end of the game we'll be celebrating not only the 4th of July, but also the 4th win of July.

He's my friend's "kid brother". But she lives in another city. I don't know it's a date. I hadn't seen him in a while, because my friend got married and moved out. The thing is we ran with each coincidentally somewhere and started talking because neither of us liked the music (vallenato, gross).He's called me 4 times to ask me out, after he says hi, he always says the same: Karina, whatever you wanna do, wherever you wanna be...what time do i pick you up? but for somewhat reasons, he's called on very busy days.do you think he wants to hang around or is he taking me out in a date?

That's worrying. There's gonna be a way he doesn't grow up as a Giants fan. Maybe you could convince him to choose the Dodgers with the amount of young talent they have...Giants pretty much suck, but it should be avoided to take him to watch Lincecum and Cain pitching.

Hey guys. Hello from somewhere in southwest Oklahoma. I'm listening to the game on the radio and just wanted to say hey. The game is a frenzy of doubles, huh? I'm going to try to post on my site later tonight, so you can get some idea of what I've done on my trip so far. Go Dodgers!
